Smith Squat

Stand under a Smith machine bar with feet about shoulder-width apart and bar resting across your upper back. Unrack the bar and lower your body by bending at the hips and knees, keeping your torso upright and core braced. Descend until your thighs are near parallel to the floor, then push through your heels to return to standing. Perform with controlled tempo and good form throughout.
